One of the first and best, this canal-side club is a great way to find out what makes Berlin so special. Nestled under an enormous weeping willow, it’s just out of sight of the road running between Kreuzberg and Treptower Park. There’s a small indoor dance floor and a rickety open-air area of wooden decking with a large jetty stretching out across the water. Previously a seasonal venue, in past years the roof has been sealed off, to keep going through even the coldest winter days with the help of furnace heaters. Due to intermittent fire regulation problems, the winter parties are sometimes held in the nearby Hoppetosse boat. While it’s possible to drop in midweek from 2pm for a beer, the place comes to life on the weekend, filling up with an after-hour crowd, happy to chill, drink and dance the day away.

Went to this club while on a visit to Berlin after a recommendation from our Air BNB host. We went on a Sunday afternoon around 5pm. Setting is very cool, located on the water front with two levels. It would be an amazing spot to sit/dance on a sunny day, but unfortunately for us it was pouring with rain when we arrived. The rain subsided after a while but all the chairs were wet. There's one small room with the dj where everyone dances, would maybe be better if there was more room for dancing but it was enough space when we were there. Overall a pretty good night, and not so difficult to get in to, unlike some of the other clubs in the city.
